Henry Page is the editor and owner of the Northern Light newspaper, which has become a kind of local tradition in a small town. Over the course of five generations, the newspaper gradually acquired a strong reputation for integrity, objectivity and conscientiousness in the selection of material. And now a powerful newspaper trust wants to buy it. But Henry does not want to sell the newspaper and devotes all his strength to fighting the ruthless monopoly in order to preserve his faith, his family and even his very life. "Erased from Life" and "Northern Light" are written in the magnificent narrative tradition of such Cronin novels as "Castle Brodie", "Keys of the Kingdom", "The Citadel".
